    Backcountry Crooked Creek Chickee — Everglades National Park

    Platform

    This chickee was just as described. I will warn all that this can be a tough adventure if paddling. Make sure you go with the tide, it was moving 3-4 during my paddle. Fishing is epic, even from the chickee. Stay quiet and look under the platform, tarpon, snook and drum were always around. Bugs were tough sunset and sunrise. Perfect overnight if you’re doing the water trail. Also, this is actually 2 bookable sites. Both nights I stayed, another group showed up late afternoon.
